i enjoy it so dose quite a lot of people.
but they must make a profit on it or they will go bust. no point selling a game for £10 when it worth £100 pounds. And the sale is only for this mouth.
if you can find a good ship simulator like what you ask for, for less than £100 I will suprise
Well, I know many enjoy it - and I feel happy for you all. I enjoyed SS08 and wish I could enjoy SSE.
So you estimate the value of Ship Sim Extreme to £100? Hmmm... that would put it in the Steal Beast Pro PE Sim category - which is lightyears ahead of SSE. I dont mean to be rude, but what other sims are you comparing with?
The ocean wave+wind engine used by Ilan Papini is far better than Vsteps SSE as far as I have seen... (maybe I'm missing a major patch? - but after the last update my SSE keep on crashing
). I just refer to my own experience of steering a ship in different sea conditions.
Tip for future release: Where are the functional RADAR, GPS, EchoSounding, and Radio? There is no feel in SSE for heave and counter steer as compared to Papinis engine. Maybe Vstep can learn a little from there, instead of investing time/$ in false marketing (sorry).
Ok, I had my rage-time and believe me - I usually never complain about software products. So next part is the useful constructive feedback part:
1) Build a sim engine from bottom - low graphic specs - and high sim specs. (raise graphic levels
after sim level)
2) Loose the graphics hook! We (sorry, I) don't care so much about 200000 reflections as we do about a functioning RADAR, GPS and communication means!
3) Engine needs rewamp for thrusters and the ship need a wind/wave impact
4) Adding tidal and general currents would be a plus (but awefully hard).
5) ... you fill in here!
All the best,
